FAO 'The sensible majority',

Assuming that your poor spelling is not deliberate for some unknown reason and that your net browser does not have a spell checker, may I suggest the following?

Type out your post in MS Word (or whichever equivalent you use), spell-check it, grammar check it as appropiate and THEN copy and paste it into a post. This is particularly useful for long posts as it can make it easier to compose the post and format it.

We all make mistakes and typos from time to time, but it's nice to be given the impression that someone has at least tried to make the effort.

The greatest benefit of careful spelling on the internet is that it allows others to find references when using a search engine. Many a useful link has gone unfound due to spelling errors in the content.

Have you ever tried entering a deliberate misspelling into the EBay search engine and seeing what it returns :lol:
If you want a cheap computer try searching for a 'computor' :wink:
